Introduction
SSL / IPSec VPN QoS Router (referred as VPN Router hereby) is a business level security router
that efficiently integrates new generation multiple WAN-port devices. It meets the needs of medium
enterprises, internet cafés, campus, dorm and communities, etc. Apart from its internet connectivity
that suits the broadband market, VPN Router has a built-in QoS and VLAN switching board which
enables it to fulfill most enterprise and internet cafe firewall needs.
VPN Router has 2 10/100 Base-T/TX Ethernets (RJ45) WAN ports. These WAN ports can support
auto load balance mode, exclusive mode (remaining WAN balance), and stategy routing mode for
high-efficiency network. They offer super flexibility for network set-up. Moreover, these WAN ports also
support DHCP, fixed IP, PPPoE, transparent bridge, VPN connection, port binding, static routing,
dynamic routing, NAT, one to one NAT, PAT, MAC Clone, as well as DDNS. As for LAN ports including
one DMZ, they support 4 10/100 Base-T/TX Ethernet (RJ45) ports and provide the features of Microsoft
UPnP, VLAN, Multi Subnet, and transparent bridge mode. Internet IP addresses can also be used in
intranet.
To fulfill the requirement for a highly secure and integrated firewall, VPN Router has a 64-bit
hardware acceleration, high-speed, high-efficiency processor embedded. With high processing speed,
plusing high standard SDRAM and Flash, VPN Router brings users super networking efficiency. Its
processing speed and capacity are almost equal to those of expensive enterprise-level VPN Routers.
This is why the device is so popular with modern enterprises.
In addition to internet connectability, for the broadband market, VPN Router has the function of VPN
virtual network connection. It is equipped with a virtual private network hardware acceleration mode
which is widely used in modern enterprises, and offers full VPN functionality.
Qno is a supporter of the IPSec and SSL Protocol. IPSec/SSL VPN provides DES, 3DES, AES-128
encryption, MD5, SH1 certification, IKE Pre-Share Key, or manual password interchange. VPN Router
also supports aggressive mode. When a connection is lost, VPN Router will automatically re-connect. In
addition, the device features NetBIOS transparency, and supports IP grouping for connections between
clients and host in the virtual private network.
VPN Router offers the function of a standard PPTP server, which is equipped with connection
setting status. Each WAN port can be set up with multiple DDNS at the same time. It is also capable of
establishing VPN connections with dynamic IP addresses.
VPN Router also has unique QVM VPN- SmartLink IPSec VPN. Just input VPN server IP, user
name, and password, and IPSec VPN will be automatically set up. Through VPN Router exclusive QVM
function, users can set up QVM to work as a server, and have it accept other QVM series products from
client ports. QVM offers easy VPN allocation for users; users can do it even without a network
administrator. VPN Router enables enterprises to benefit from VPN without being troubled with technical
and network management problems. The central control function enables the host to log in remote client
computers at any time. Security and secrecy are guaranteed to meet the IPSec standard, so as to
ensure the continuity of VPN service.
The advanced built-in firewall function enables VPN Router to resist most attacks from the Internet.
It utilizes active detection technology SPI (Stateful Packet Inspection). The SPI firewall functions mainly
within the network by dynamically inspecting each link. The SPI firewall also has a warning function for

the application process; therefore, it can refuse links to non-standard communication protocols. VPN
Router supports network address translation (NAT) function and routing modes. It makes the network
environment more flexible and easier to manage.
Through web- based UI, VPN Router enables enterprises to have their own network access rules .
To control web access, users can build and edit filter lists. It also enables users to ban or monitor
websites according to their needs. By the filter setting and complete OS management, school and
business internet management will be clearly improved. VPN Router offers various on-line SysLog
records. It supports on-line management setup tools; it makes setting up networks easy to understand. It
also reinforces the management of network access rules, VPN, and all other network services.
VPN Router fully protects the safety of communication between all offices and branches of an
organization. It helps to free enterprises from increasing hacker intrusion. With an exclusive independent
operation platform, users are able to set up and use a firewall without professional network knowledge.
VPN Router setting up and management can be carried out through web browsers, such as IE, Netscape,
etc.

6.2.1
Load Balance Mode
Auto Load Balance Mode
When Auto Load Balance mode is selected, the device will use sessions or IP and the WAN bandwidth
automatically allocate connections to achieve load balancing for external connections. The network
bandwidth is set by what users input for it. For example, if the upload bandwidth of both WANs is 512Kbit/sec,
the automatic load ratio will be 1:1; if one of the upload bandwidths is 1024Kbit/sec while the other is
512Kbit/sec, the automatic load ratio will be 2:1. Therefore, to ensure that the device can balance the actual
network load, please input real upload and download bandwidths.

Session Balance: If “By Session” is selected, the WAN bandwidth will automatically
allocate connections based on session number to achieve network load balance.

IP Session Balance: If “By IP” is selected, the WAN bandwidth will automatically allocate
connections based on IP amount to achieve network load balance.
Note!
For either session balancing or IP connection balancing, collocation with Protocol Binding will
provide a more flexible application for bandwidth. Users can assign a specific Intranet IP to go
through a specific service provider for connection, or assign an IP for a specific destination to go
through the WAN users assign to connect with the Internet.
For example, if users want to assign IP 192.168.1.100 to go through WAN 1 when connecting
with the Internet, or assign all Intranet IP to go through WAN 2 when connecting with servers with
port 80, or assign all Intranet IP to go through WAN 1 when connecting with IP 211.1.1.1, users
can do that by configuring “Protocol Binding”.
Attention! When the Auto Load Balance mode is collocated with Protocol Binding, only IP
37
SSL / IPSec VPN QoS Router
addresses or servers that are configured in the connection rule will follow the rule for external
connections; those which are not configured in the rule will still follow the device Auto Load Balance
system.
Please refer to the explanations in 6.2.3 Configuring Protocol Binding for setting up Protocol
Binding and for examples of collocating router modes with Protocol Binding.
Specify WAN Binding Mode
This mode enables users to assign specific intranet IP addresses, destination application service
ports or destination IP addresses to go through an assigned WAN for external connection. After being
assigned, the specific WAN will only support those assigned Intranet IP addresses, specific destination
application service ports, or specific destination IP addresses. Intranet IP, specific destination
application service ports and specific destination IP that is not configured under the rules will go
through other WANs for external connection. For unassigned WANs, users can select Load Balance
mode and select session or IP for load balancing.
●
Session Balance: If “By Session” is selected, the WAN bandwidth will automatically
allocate connections based on session number to achieve network load balance.
●
IP Balance: If “By IP” is selected, the WAN bandwidth will automatically allocate
connections based on the number of IP addresses to achieve network load balance.
Note!
Only when a device assignment is collocated with Protocol Binding can the balancing function
be brought into full play. For example, an assignment requiring all Intranet IP addresses to go
through WAN 1 when connecting with service port 80, or go through WAN 1 when connecting with
IP 211.1.1.1, must be set up in the Protocol Binding Configuration.
Attention: When assigning mode is selected, as in the above example, the IP(s) or service
provider(s) configured in the connection rule will follow the rule for external connections, but those
which are not configured in the rule will still follow the device Load Balance system to go through
other WAN ports to connect with the Internet.
Please refer to the explanations in 6.2.3 Configuring Protocol Binding for setting up Protocol
Binding and for examples of collocating router mode with Protocol Binding.
Strategy Routing Mode
If strategy Routing is selected, the device will automatically allocate external connections based on
38
SSL / IPSec VPN QoS Router
routing policy (Division of traffic between Telecom and Netcom is to be used in China) embedded in the device.
All you have to do is to select the WAN (or WAN group) which is connected with Netcom; the device will then
automatically dispatch the traffic for Netcom through that WAN to connect with the Internet and dispatch traffic
for Telecom to go through the WAN connected with Telecom to the Internet accordingly. In this way, the traffic
for Netcom and Telecom can be divided.
Set WAN Grouping:
If more than one WAN is connected with Netcom, to apply a similar division of traffic policy to these
WANs, a combination for the WANs must be made. Click “Set WAN Grouping”; an interactive window
as shown in the figure below will be displayed.
Name:
To define a name for the WAN grouping in the box, such as
“Education” etc. The name is for recognizing different WAN groups.
Interface:
Check the boxes for the WANs to be added into this combination.
Add To List:
To add a WAN group to the grouping list.
Delete selected:
To remove selected WANs from the WAN grouping.
Apply:
Click “Apply” to save the modification.
39
SSL / IPSec VPN QoS Router
Cancel:
Click “Cancel” to cancel the modification. This only works before
“Apply” is clicked.
After the configuration is completed, in the China Netcom Policy window users can select WANs in
combination to connect with Netcom.
Import Strategy:
A division of traffic policy can be defined by users too. In the “Import Strategy” window, select the WAN or
WAN group (ex. WAN 1) to be assigned and click the “Import IP Range” button; the dialogue box for document
importation will be displayed accordingly. A policy document is an editable text document. It may contain a
destination IP users designated. After the path for document importation has been selected, click “Import”,
and then at the bottom of the configuration window click “Apply”. The device will then dispatch the traffic to the
assigned destination IP through the WAN (ex. WAN 1) or WAN grouping users designated to the Internet.
To build a policy document users can use a text-based editor, such as Notepad, which is included with
Windows system. Follow the text format in the figure below to key in the destination IP addresses users want
to assign. For example, if the destination IP address range users want to designate is 140.115.1.1 ~
140.115.1.255, key in 140.115.1.1 ~ 140.115.1.255 in Notepad. The next destination IP address range should
be keyed in the next line. Attention! Even if only one destination IP address is to be assigned, it should follow
the same format. For example, if the destination IP address is 210.66.161.54, it should be keyed in as
210.66.161.54~210.66.161.54. After the document has been saved (the extension file name is .txt), users can
import the IP range of self-defined strategy.
40
SSL / IPSec VPN QoS Router
Note!
China Netcom strategy and self-defined strategy can coexist. However, if a
destination IP is assigned by both China Netcom strategy and self-defined strategy,
China Netcom strategy will take priority. In other words, traffic to that destination IP will be
transmitted through the WAN (or WAN group) under China Netcom strategy.
6.2.2
Network Service Detection
This is a detection system for network external services. If this option is selected, information such “Retry”
or “Retry Timeout” will be displayed. If two WANs are used for external connection, be sure to activate the
NSD system, so as to avoid any unwanted break caused by the device misjudgment of the overload traffic for
the WAN.
41
SSL / IPSec VPN QoS Router
Interface:
Select the WAN Port that enables Network Service Detection.
Retry:
This selects the retry times for network service detection. The default is
five times. If there is no feedback from the Internet in the configured
“Retry Times", it will be judged as “External Connection Disconnected”.
Retry Timeout:
Delay time for external connection detection latency. The default is 30
seconds. After the retry timeout, external service detection will restart.
When Fail:
(1) Generate the Error Condition in the System Log: If an ISP
connection failure is detected, an error message will be recorded in
the System Log. This line will not be removed; therefore, the some of
the users on this line will not have normal connections.
This option is suitable under the condition that one of the WAN
connections has failed; the traffic going through this WAN to the
destination IP cannot shift to another WAN to reach the destination.
For example, if users want the traffic to 10.0.0.1 ~ 10.254.254.254 to
go only through WAN1, while WAN2 is not to support these
destinations, users should select this option. When the WAN1
connection is disconnected, packets for 10.0.0.1~10.254.254.254
cannot be transmitted through WAN 2, and there is no need to remove
the connection when WAN 1 is disconnected.
(2) Keep System Log and Remove the Connection: If an ISP
42
SSL / IPSec VPN QoS Router
connection failure is detected, no error message will be recorded in
the System Log. The packet transmitted through this WAN will be
shifted to the other WAN automatically, and be shifted back again
when the connection for the original WAN is repaired and
reconnected.
This option is suitable when one of the WAN connections fails and the
traffic going through this WAN to the destination IP should go through
the other WAN to reach the destination. In this way, when any of the
WAN connections is broken, other WANs can serve as a backup;
traffic can be shifted to a WAN that is still connected.
Detecting Feedback Servers:
Default Gateway:
The local default communication gateway location, such as the IP
address of an ADSL router, will be input automatically by the device.
Therefore, users just need to check the option if this function is needed.
Attention! Some gateways of an ADSL network will not affect packet
detection. If users have an optical fiber box, or the IP issued by ISP is a
public IP and the gateway is located at the port of the net café rather
than at the IP provider’s port, do not activate this option.
ISP Host:
This is the detected location for the ISP port, such as the DNS IP
address of ISP. When configuring an IP address for this function, make
sure this IP is capable of receiving feedback stably and speedily. (Please
input the DNS IP of the ISP port)
Remote Host:
This is the detected location for the remote Network Segment. This
Remote Host IP should better be capable of receiving feedback stably
and speedily. (Please input the DNS IP of the ISP port).
DNS Lookup Host:
This is the detect location for DNS. (Only a web address such as
www.hinet.net is acceptable here. Do not input an IP address.) In
addition, do not input the same web address in this box for two different
WANs.
Note!
In the load balance mode for Assigned Routing, the first WAN port (WAN1) will be saved for the
traffic of the IP addresses or the application service ports that are not assigned to other WANs (WAN2).
43
SSL / IPSec VPN QoS Router
Therefore, in this mode, we recommend assigning one of the connections to the first WAN. When other
WANs (WAN2) are broken and connection error remove (Remove the Connection) has been selected
for the connection detection system, traffic will be shifted to the first WAN (WAN1). In addition, if the first
WAN (WAN1) is broken, the traffic will be shifted to other WANs in turn. For example, the traffic will be
shifted to WAN2.
6.2.3
Protocol Binding
Interface Configuration
Router allows maximum four WAN interface, the bandwidth and real connection of every WAN will impact
the load balance mechanism; therefore you need to set the Bandwidth and the Network service detection by
each WAN Port correctly.
In “Interface Configuration”, click “Edit” to enter the WAN port configuration.
Bandwidth Configuration
When Auto Load Balance mode is selected, the device will select sessions or IP and the WAN bandwidth
will automatically allocate connections to achieve load balancing for external connections. The network
bandwidth is set by what users input for it. For example, if the upload bandwidth of both WANs is 512Kbit/sec,
the automatic load ratio will be 1:1; if one of the upload bandwidths is 1024Kbit/sec, while the other is
512Kbit/sec, the automatic load ratio will be 2:1. Therefore, to ensure that the device can balance the actual
network load, please input real upload and download bandwidths. The section refers to QoS configuration.
Therefore, it should be set in QoS page. Please refer to 8.1 QoS bandwidth configuration.

Protocol Binding
Users can define specific IP addresses or specific application service ports to go through a user-assigned
WAN for external connections. For any other unassigned IP addresses and services, WAN load balancing will
still be carried out.
Note!
In the load balance mode of Assigned Routing, the first WAN (WAN1) cannot be assigned. It is to
be saved for the IP addresses and the application Service Ports that are not assigned to other WANs
(WAN2) for external connections. In other words, the first WAN (WAN1) cannot be configured with the
Protocol Binding rule. This is to avoid a condition where all WANs are assigned to specific Intranet IP or
Service Ports and destination IP, no more WAN ports will be available for other IP addresses and
Service Ports.

Service:
This is to select the Binding Service Port to be activated. The default (such
as ALL-TCP&UDP 0~65535, WWW 80~80, FTP 21 to 21, etc.) can be
selected from the pull-down option list. The default Service is All 0~65535.
Option List for Service Management: Click the button to enter the Service
Port configuration page to add or remove default Service Ports on the
option list.
Source IP:
Users can assign packets of specific Intranet virtual IP to go through a
specific WAN port for external connection. In the boxes here, input the
Intranet virtual IP address range; for example, if 192.168.1.100~150 is
input, the binding range will be 100~150. If only specific Service Ports need
to be designated, while specific IP designation is not necessary, input “0” in
the IP boxes.
Dest. IP:
In the boxes, input an external static IP address. For example, if
connections to destination IP address 210.11.1.1 are to be restricted to
WAN1, the external static IP address 210.1.1.1 ~ 210.1.1.1 should be input.
If a range of destinations is to be assigned, input the range such as
210.11.1.1 ~ 210.11.255.254. This means the Class B Network Segment of
210.11.x.x will be restricted to a specific WAN. If only specific Service Ports
need to be designated, while a specific IP destination assignment is not
required, input “0” into the IP boxes.

Example 1:How do I set up Auto Load Balance Mode to assign the Intranet IP 192.168.1.100 to WAN2 for the
Internet?
48
SSL / IPSec VPN QoS Router
As in the figure below, select “All Traffic” from the pull-down option list “Service”, and then in the
boxes of “Source IP” input the source IP address “192.168.1.100” to “100”. Retain the original numbers
“0.0.0.0” in the boxes of “Destination IP” (which means to include all Internet IP addresses). Select
WAN2 from the pull-down option list “Interface”, and then click “Enable”. Finally, click “Add New” and
the rule will be added to the mode.
Example 2:How do I set up Auto Load Balance Mode to keep Intranet IP 192.168.1.150 ~ 200 from
going through WAN2 when the destination port is Port 80?
As in the figure below, select “HTTP [TCP/80~80]” from the pull-down option list “Service”, and
then in the boxes for “Source IP” input “192.168.1.150” to “200”. Retain the original numbers “0.0.0.0”
in the boxes of “Destination IP” (which means to include all Internet IP addresses). Select WAN2 from
the pull-down option list “Interface”, and then click “Enable”. Finally, click “Add New” and the rule will be
added to the mode.
49
SSL / IPSec VPN QoS Router
Example 3:How do I set up Auto Load Balance Mode to keep all Intranet IP addresses from going through
WAN2 when the destination port is Port 80 and keep all other services from going through WAN1?
As in the figure below, there are two rules to be configured. The first rule: select “HTTP
[TCP/80~80]” from the pull-down option list “Service”, and then in the boxes of Source IP input
“192.168.1.0” to “0” (which means to include all Intranet IP addresses). Retain the original numbers
“0.0.0.0” in the boxes of “Destination IP” (Which means to include all Internet IP addresses). Select
WAN2 from the pull-down option list “Interface”, and then click “Enable”. Finally, click “Add New” and
the rule will be added to the mode. The device will transmit packets to Port 80 through WAN2. However,
with only the above rule, packets that do not go to Port 80 may be transmitted through WAN2; therefore,
a second rule is necessary. The second rule: Select “All Ports [TCP&UDP/1~65535]” from the
pull-down option list “Service”, and then input “192.168.1.2 ~ 254” in the boxes of “Source IP”. Retain
the original numbers “0.0.0.0” in the boxes of “Destination IP” (which means to include all Internet IP
addresses). Select WAN1 from the pull-down option list “Interface”, and then click “Enable”. Finally,
click “Add New” and the rule will be added to the mode. The device will transmit packets that are not
going to Port 80 to the Internet through WAN1.

SSL / IPSec VPN QoS Router
Configuring “Assigned Routing Mode” for load Balance:
IP Group: This function allows users to assign packets from specific Intranet IP addresses or to
specific destination Service Ports and to specific destination IP addresses through an assigned WAN
to the Internet. After being assigned, the specific WAN will only support those assigned Intranet IP
addresses, destination Service Ports, or destination IP addresses. Those which are not configured will
go through other WANs for external connection. Only when this mode is collocated with “Assigned
Routing” can it bring the function into full play.
Example 1:How do I set up the Assigned Routing Mode to keep all Intranet IP addresses from going
through WAN2 when the destination is Port 80, and keep all other services from going through WAN1?
As in the figure below, select “HTTP[TCP/80~80]” from the pull-down option list “Service”, and
then in the boxes of “Source IP” input “192.168.1.0 ~ 0” (which means to include all Intranet IP
addresses). Retain the original numbers “0.0.0.0” in the boxes of “Destination IP” (Which means to
include all Internet IP addresses). Select WAN2 from the pull-down option list “Interface”, and then click
“Enable”. Finally, click “Add New” and the rule will be added to the mode. After the rule is set up, only
packets that go to Port 80 will be transmitted through WAN2, while other traffics will be transmitted
through WAN1.

SSL / IPSec VPN QoS Router
Example 2:How do I configure Protocol Binding to keep traffic from all Intranet IP addresses from going
through WAN2 when the destinations are IP 211.1.1.1 ~ 211.254.254.254 as well as the whole Class A
group of 60.1.1.1 ~ 60.254.254.254, while traffic to other destinations goes through WAN1?
As in the following figure, there are two rules to be configured. The first rule: Select “All Port
[TCP&UDP/1~65535]” from the pull-down option list “Service”, and then in the boxes of “Source IP”
input “192.168.1.0 ~ 0” (which means to include all Intranet IP addresses). In the boxes for “Destination
IP” input “211.1.1.1 ~ 211.254.254.254”. Select WAN2 from the pull-down option list “Interface”, and
then click “Enable”. Finally, click “Add New” and the rule will be added to the mode. The second rule:
Select “All Port [TCP&UDP/1~65535]” from the pull-down option list “Service”, and then in the boxes of
“Source IP” input “192.168.1.0 ~ 0” (which means to include all Intranet IP addresses). In the boxes of
“Destination IP” input “211.1.1.1 ~ 60,254,254,254”. Select WAN2 from the pull-down option list
“Interface”, and then click “Enable”. Finally, click “Add New”, and the rule will be added to the mode.
After the rule has been set up, all traffic that is not going to the assigned destinations will only be
transmitted through WAN1.

SSL / IPSec VPN QoS Router
DisabledPort:
This feature allows users turn on/off the Ethernet port. If selected, the
Ethernet port will be shut down immediately and no connection can be
made. The default value is "on".
Priority:
This feature allows users to set the high/low priority of the packet delivery
for the Ethernet port. If it is set as High, the port has the first priority to
deliver the packet. The default value is “Normal”.
Speed Status:
This feature allows users to select the network hardware connection speed
for the Ethernet port. The options are 10Mbps and 100Mbps.
Duplex Status:
This feature allows users to select the network hardware connection speed
working mode for the Ethernet. The options are full duplex and half duplex.
Auto Neg.:
The Auto-Negotiation mode can enable each port to automatically adjust
and gather the connection speed and duplex mode. Therefore, if Enabled
Auto-Neg. selected, the ports setup will be done without any manual setting
by administrators.
VLAN:
This feature allows administrators to set the LAN port to be one or more
disconnected network sessions. All of them will be able to log on to the
Internet through the device.
Members in the same network session (within the same VLAN) can see
and communicate with each other. Members in different VLAN will not
know the existence of other members.
55
SSL / IPSec VPN QoS Router
VLAN All:
Set VLAN All port to be the public area of VLAN so that it can be connected
to other VLAN networks. A server should be constructed for the intranet so
that all VLAN group can visit this server. Set one of the network ports as
VLAN All. Connect the server to VLAN All so that computers of different
VLAN groups can be connected to this server. Moreover, the port where the
administrator locates must be set as VLAN All so that it can be connected to
the entire network to facilitate network management.
56
SSL / IPSec VPN QoS Router
7.2 Port Status
Summary:
There are Network Connection Type, Interface, Link Status (Up/Down), Port Activity (Port Enabled),
Priority Setting (High or Normal), Speed Status (10Mbps or 100Mbps), Duplex Status (half duplex or full
duplex), Auto Neg. (Enabled/Disabled), and VLAN.

7.3 IP/ DHCP
With an embedded DHCP server, it supports automatic IP assignation for LAN computers. (This
function is similar to the DHCP service in NT servers.) It benefits users by freeing them from the
inconvenience of recording and configuring IP addresses for each PC respectively. When a computer
is turned on, it will acquire an IP address from the device automatically. This function is to make
management easier.
59
SSL / IPSec VPN QoS Router
Dynamic IP:
Client lease Time:
Check the option to activate the DHCP server automatic IP lease
function. If the function is activated, all PCs will be able to acquire IP
automatically. Otherwise, users should configure static virtual IP for each
PC individually.
Range Start:
This is to set up a lease time for the IP address which is acquired by a
PC. The default is 1440 minutes (a day). Users can change it according
to their needs. The time unit is minute.
60
SSL / IPSec VPN QoS Router
Range End:
This is an initial IP automatically leased by DHCP. It means DHCP will
start the lease from this IP.
The default initial IP is 192.168.1.100.

DNS Local Database (Future)
Normally, DNS sever will be directed to ISP DNS server or internal self- defined DNS server.
Qno router also provides “easy” self- defined DNS services, called “DNS Local Database”, which
can map website host domain names and the corresponding IP addresses.
Host Domain Name
Enter the website host domain name.
i.e. www.google.com
IP Address
Enter the corresponding IP address of the host domain above.
Add to Llist
Add the items into the list below.
63
SSL / IPSec VPN QoS Router
Delete selected item
Delete the items chosen.
※ Note!
(1) Users MUST enable DCHP server service to enable DNS local database.
(2) Users must set DHCP server DNS IP address as the router LAN IP.
For example, LAN is 10.10.10.1, as
shown in the following figure.
Therefore, DCHP DNS IP address must be 10.10.10.1 to make DNS local database in effect.
(3) After enabling DNS local database, if there is no host domain names in the list, the router will still use ISP
DNS server or internal DNS server for lookup.
Test if DNS local database is effective:
Assumed tw.yahoo.com IP address is 10.10.10.199, as the following figure.
64
SSL / IPSec VPN QoS Router
(1) System Tool => Diagnostic => DNS Name Lookup
(2) Enter tw.yahoo.com for lookup.
(3) The IP is 10.10.10.199, confirming the corresponding IP in DNS local database.

7.5 IP & MAC Binding
Administrators can apply IP & MAC Binding function to make sure that users can not add extra PCs for
Internet access or change private IP addresses.
There are two methods for setting up this function:
Block MAC address not on the list
This method only allows MAC addresses on the list to receive IP addresses from DHCP and have Internet
access. When this method is applied, please fill out Static IP with 0.0.0.0, as the figure below:
66
SSL / IPSec VPN QoS Router
IP & MAC Binding
67
SSL / IPSec VPN QoS Router
Static IP:
There are two ways to input static IP:
1.
If users want to set up a MAC address to acquire IP from
DHCP, but the IP need not be a specific assigned IP,
input 0.0.0.0 in the boxes. The boxes cannot be left
empty.
2.
If users want DHCP to assign a static IP for a PC every
single time, users should input the IP address users want
to assign to this computer in the boxes. The server or PC
which is to be bound will then acquire a static virtual IP
whenever it restarts.
MAC Address:
Input the static real MAC (the address on the network card) for
the server or PC which is to be bound.
68
SSL / IPSec VPN QoS Router
Name:
For distinguishing clients, input the name or address of the
client that is to be bound. The maximum acceptable characters
are 12.
Enabled:
Activate this configuration.
Add to list:
Add the configuration or modification to the list.
Delete selected item:
Remove the selected binding from the list.
Add:
Add new binding.
Block MAC address on the list with wrong IP address: When this option is activated, MAC addresses
which are not included in the list will not be able to connect with the Internet.
Show New IP user:
This function can reduce administrator’s effort on checking MAC addresses one by one for the binding.
Furthermore, it is easy to make mistakes to fill out MAC addresses on the list manually. By checking this list,
administrator can see all MAC addresses which have traffic and are not bound yet. Also, if administrators
find that one specific bound MAC address is shown on the list, it means that the user changes the private IP
address.
Name:
Input the name or address of the client that is to be bound. The maximum
acceptable characters are 12.
Enabled:
Choose the item to be bound.
Apply:
Activate the configuration.

7.6 IP Group Management
IP Group function can combine several IP addresses or IP address ranges into several groups. When
you manage user internet access privileges by IP address, you can set up every management functions for
users who have same internet access privileges in the same IP group in order to decrease the effort of setting
rules for each IP address. For example, you can choose to set up QoS or Access Rule by IP grouping. Thus,
you will simplify setting rules.
IP Grouping consists of Local IP Group and Remote IP Group. Local IP Group refers to LAN IP groups,
and remote IP Group refers to WAN IP groups. Local IP Group list will automatically learn IP addresses having
packets that pass through firewall. Moreover, if user changes the IP address, the IP in the list will change
accordingly well. For IP information which is in group list, it won't update automatically along with IP list of the
left side. Administrators need to modify it manually.
70

VIII. QoS (Quality of Service)
QoS is an abbreviation for Quality of Service. The main function is to restrict bandwidth usage for
some services and IP addresses to save bandwidth or provide priority to specific applications or
services, and also to enable other users to share bandwidth, as well as to ensure stable and reliable
network transmission. To maximize the bandwidth efficiency, network administrators should take
account of the practical requirements of a company, a community, a building, or a café, etc., and modify
bandwidth management according to the network environment, application processes or services.
75
SSL / IPSec VPN QoS Router
8.1 Bandwidth Management
76
SSL / IPSec VPN QoS Router
8.1.1
The Maximum Bandwidth provided by ISP
In the boxes for WAN1 and WAN2 bandwidth, input the upstream and downstream bandwidth
which users applied for from bandwidth supplier. The bandwidth QoS will make calculations according
to the data users input. In other words, it will guarantee a minimum rate of upstream and downstream
for each IP and Service Port based on the total actual bandwidth of WAN1 and WAN2. For example, if
the upstream bandwidths of both WAN1 and WAN2 are 512Kbit/Sec, the total upstream bandwidth will
be: WAN1 + WAN2 = 1024Kbit/Sec. Therefore, if there are 50 IP addresses in the Intranet, the
77
SSL / IPSec VPN QoS Router
minimum guaranteed upstream bandwidth for each IP would be 1024Kbit/50=20Kbit/Sec. Thus,
20Kbit/Sec can be input for “Mini. Rate” Downstream bandwidth can be calculated in the same way.
Attention!
The unit of calculation in this example is Kbit. Some software indicates the downstream/upstream
speed with the unit KB. 1KB = 8Kbit.
8.1.2
QoS
To satisfy the bandwidth requirements of certain users, the device enables users to set up QoS: Rate
Control and Priority Control. Users can select only one of the above QoS choices.
Rate Control:
The network administrator can set up bandwidth or usage limitations for each IP or IP range according
to the actual bandwidth. The network administrator can also set bandwidth control for certain Service
Ports. A guarantee bandwidth control for external connections can also be configured if there is an
internal server.
78
SSL / IPSec VPN QoS Router
Interface:
Select on which WAN the QoS rule should be executed. It can be a single
selection or multiple selections.
Service Port:
Select what bandwidth control is to be configured in the QoS rule. If the
bandwidth for all services of each IP is to be controlled, select “All (TCP&UDP)
1~65535”. If only FTP uploads or downloads need to be controlled, select
“FTP Port 21~21”. Refer to the Default Service Port Number List.
79
SSL / IPSec VPN QoS Router
IP Address:
This is to select which user is to be controlled. If only a single IP is to be
restricted, input this IP address, such as “192.168.1.100 to 100”. The rule will
control only the IP 192.168.1.100. If an IP range is to be controlled, input the
range, such as “192.168.1.100 ~ 150”. The rule will control IP addresses from
192.168.1.100 to 150. If all Intranet users that connect with the device are to
be controlled, input “0” in the boxes of IP address. This means all Intranet IP
addresses will be restricted. QoS can also control the range of Class B.
Direction:
Upstream: Means the upload bandwidth for Intranet IP.
Downstream: Means the download bandwidth for Intranet IP.
Server in LAN, Upstream: If a Server for external connection has been built in
the device, this option is to control the bandwidth for the traffic coming from
outside to this Server.
Server in LAN, Downstream: If there are web sites built in the Intranet, this
option is to control the upload bandwidth for the connections from outside to
this Server. For example, game servers have been built in many Internet
cafés. This rule can be used to control the bandwidth for connections from
outside to the game server of a café to update data. In this way, game players
inside the café will not be affected.
Min. & Max. Rate:
The minimum bandwidth: The rule is to guarantee minimum available
(Kbit/Sec)
bandwidth.
The maximum bandwidth: This rule is to restrict maximum available
bandwidth. The maximum bandwidth will not exceed the limit set up under
this rule.
Attention! The unit of calculation used in this rule is Kbit. Some software
indicates download/upload speed by the unit KB. 1KB = 8Kbit.
80
SSL / IPSec VPN QoS Router
Bandwidth sharing:
Sharing total bandwidth with all IP addresses: If this option is selected, all IP
addresses or Service Ports will share the bandwidth range (from minimum to
maximum bandwidth).
Assign bandwidth for each IP address: If this option is selected, every IP or
Service Port in this range can have this bandwidth (minimum to maximum).
For example, If the rule is set for the IP of each PC, the IP of each PC will have
the same bandwidth.
Attention: If “Share-Bandwidth” is selected, be aware of the actual usage
conditions and avoid an improper configuration that might cause a malfunction
of the network when the bandwidth is too small. For example, if users do not
want an FTP to occupy too much bandwidth, users can select the
“Share-Bandwidth Mode”, so that no matter how much users use FTPs to
download information, the total occupied bandwidth is fixed.
Enable:
Add to list:
Move up & Move
down:

8.2 Session control
Session management controls the acceptable maximum simultaneous sessions of Intranet PCs.
This function is very useful for managing connection quantity when P2P software such as BT, Thunder,
or emule is used in the Intranet causing large numbers of sessions. Setting up proper limitations on
sessions can effectively control the sessions created by P2P software. It will also have a limiting effect
on bandwidth usage.
In addition, if any Intranet PC is attacked by a virus like Worm.Blaster and sends a huge number of
session requests, session control will restrict that as well.

IX. Firewall
This chapter introduces firewall general policy, access rule, and content filter settings to ensure network
security.
9.1 General Policy
The firewall is enabled by default. If the firewall is set as disabled, features such as SPI, DoS, and
outbound packet responses will be turned off automatically. Meanwhile, the remote management feature
will be activated. The network access rules and content filter will be turned off.
Firewall:
This feature allows users to turn on/off the firewall.
SPI (Stateful Packet
This enables the packet automatic authentication detection technology.
Inspection):
The Firewall operates mainly at the network layer. By executing the
dynamic authentication for each connection, it will also perform an
alarming function for application procedure. Meanwhile, the packet
authentication firewall may decline the connections which use
non-standard communication protocol.
89
SSL / IPSec VPN QoS Router
DoS (Denial of Service):
This averts DoS attacks such as SYN Flooding, Smurf, LAND, Ping of
Death, IP Spoofing and so on.
Block WAN request:
If set as Enabled, then it will shut down outbound ICMP and abnormal
packet responses in connection. If users try to ping the WAN IP from the
external, this will not work because the default value is set as activated in
order to decline the outbound responses.
Remote Management:
To enter the device web- based UI by connecting to the remote Internet,
this feature must be activated. In the field of remote browser IP, a valid
external IP address (WAN IP) for the device should be filled in and the
modifiable default control port should be adjusted (the default is set to
80, modifiable).
Multicast Pass Through:
There are many audio and visual streaming media on the network.
Broadcasting may allow the client end to receive this type of packet
message format. This feature is off by default.
Prevent ARP Virus
This feature is designed to prevent the intranet from being attacked by
Attack:
ARP spoofing, causing the connection failure of the PC. This ARP virus
cheat mostly occurs in Internet cafes. When attacked, all the online
computers disconnect immediately or some computers fail to go online.
Activating this feature may prevent the attack by this type of virus.

15000 packets/Sec and 2000 packets/Sec respectively), if these
conditions above occurs, the IP will be blocked for 5 minutes ( the
default is 5 minutes OBJ 176 ). Users can adjust the threshold value and
the blocking duration to effectively deal with external attack. The
threshold value should be adjusted from high to low.
LAN Threshold: When all packet values from internal attack or from
single internal IP attack reach the maximum amount (the default is
15000 packets/Sec and 2000 packets/Sec respectively), if these
conditions above occurs, the IP will be blocked for 5 minutes (the default
is 5 minutes). Users can adjust the threshold value and the blocking
duration to effectively deal with external attack. The threshold value
should be adjusted from high to low.

XI. SSL VPN
For SSL VPN, clients only need a web browser to access to Central servers. After verifying the ID,
clients can access to the company’s internal resources, such as Internet services, Microsoft terminal
services, remote desktop services, online neighborhood networks, and secure tunnel functions through the
portal. Meanwhile, different users or groups can access to different interfaces according to the web
administrator’s configurations, which satisfies external and mobile users' security requirements.
Below introduces SSL VPN related settings.
SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is a protocol that ensures secure data transmission over the Internet via
HTTPS encryption, including server authentication, user authentication, and SSL data link integrity and
security. SSL VPN is an LAN application service that remote users are provided with web page security
through a SSL VPN gateway. Because SSL VPN uses a standard, built-in web browser SSL/HTTPS secure
transmission mechanism, there are no required installations or settings for clients. Clients can access
remote data via a web browser such as IE or Netscape. This simple setup requires no client software, costs
less and is highly adaptable with other networks. Administrators can also use the same ID for user ID
authentication mechanism, network access, and classification management. This prevents enterprise
information’s complete transparency and provides an increasing level of security safeguards.

12.3 Group Management
Group Management helps the web administrator organize users’ access to internal service resources in
groups. It can be configured by following 3 steps: Domain Management, User management, and Service
Resource management. In addition, SSL VPN's unique "One- Click" makes your basic configurations fast.
One Click:
SSL VPN provides one-click setting. With fewest configurations, all users can use SSL tunnels to access an
open internal resource. While in "All Users" group, the authentication server settings support the current
enterprise authentication server. So all users, after being identified via the authentication server, will be
directed to the portal and can use the full range of enterprise resources. For Authentication server settings,
see step one below: Domain Management.
150
SSL / IPSec VPN QoS Router
151
SSL / IPSec VPN QoS Router
Group Name:
SSL VPN has build-in 4 groups (All Users, Supervisor, Mobile User, and Branch Staff). “All Users” is enabled
by default, while others are be disabled. You can select ” Group Enable” to enable the group setting or click
on “ Add New Group” button to add others group names.

Group Name:
Import a group name.
Apply:
Click "Apply" tab to save recent changed settings; new group names
will appear in the drop down menu.
Cancel:
Click "Cancel" to clear any recent changes to the settings.
Each group must follow below steps (Domain Management, User management, and Service resource
management) to complete group settings.
Step 1: Domain Management
Domain Management is used to determine which authentication server will be used to authenticate
users at login. The default authentication server type is local database. SSL VPN supports external
authentication services and can be combined with an enterprise's current authentication server for a
152
SSL / IPSec VPN QoS Router
simplified deployment. If no suitable authentication servers can be chosen from the list, click "Add New
Domain" to create a new one.
All authentication servers with defined settings will be displayed on Domain
Assign:
Management list. You are required to choose one authentication server to be
assigned to this group. Each group can only be assigned to one type of
authentication server. Default is Local Database. If there are changes to the
domain servers designated by All Users, other groups that have yet to enable
will also be modified accordingly.
Domain Names:
Display all authentication server names.
Authentication Type:
Display authentication server type.
Authentication
Display external authentication server IP addresses. If the Authentication Type is

server
Local Database, the authentication server IP address will not be displayed.
153
SSL / IPSec VPN QoS Router
User Database:
For external authentication servers, the user database will be: "Apply User
Database” and "Customize User Database".
Click "Apply User database", then there is no need to establish additional user
data, and the system will directly apply the external authentication server's
internal user database settings. As long as the users belong to this
authentication server group, they can use the group's resources.
Note: If multiple groups designate the same authentication server for users, only
one group will be able to use the built-in user database at one time. For this
reason, it is recommended that the largest group be designated to use the
built-in user database and other smaller groups use the "Customize User
Database".
Select the "Customize User Database", the administrator must add a new user
to the group (See step two: User management). If users have not been set by
the administrator, users of the authentication server can still pass the
authentication, but they will not be able to access the web portal to use internal
enterprise resources.
Edit:
Click on the "Edit" tab to make changes to the server addresses and
authentication domain names. Authentication server type and authentication
service name cannot be altered. If you want to change the authentication server
type and authentication service name, delete them, and then set up a new
authentication server.
Delete:
Click on the recycle bin icon to delete authentication server settings.
Adding New Authentication Service
SSL VPN, in addition to Local Database, supports another 7 kinds of authentication server types:

setup by assigning the All Users group authentication server to the newly created authentication server.
Note: All of the users in this authentication server can link to the web portal and access all of the enterprise
resources pre-determined by administrators. Administrators do not need to define settings for step 2 (User
management) and step 3 (Service resources management).
159

Inactive timeout:
Even though a user has logged in via the web portal, he/she will be
forced to logout (timeout) due to inactivity after 10 minutes. If a user
logs into the web portal to access enterprise resources using a SSL in
an unsafe environment, a shorter timeout time is recommended to
mitigate risk if the user is logged in but inactive.

Exit:
Click on the “Exit” tab to close the “add new user” window.
Step 3: Service Resource Management:
(1) Allow the SSL users to access the same subnet, but not to transfer the traffic to the router completely:
This is factory default; users can access some specific services within servers that are in the same subnet
(the subnet which virtual passage was destined). The traffic which is irrelevant to intranet (for example, to
visit the News web page) will be forwarded to local gateway router.
(2) The SSL users can choose transferring the traffic to the router completely:
To indicate the users can choose all the traffic to be directed to Qno Firewall Router, after Qno
Firewall router allows users to connect Virtual Passage successfully. Therefore, users can
access not only the servers or services within the same subnet in intranet, but also can access
to internet through non-split tunnel of the Firewall Router WAN IP, if the Firewall Router
dosen’t control the connecting for Virtual Passage.
As the figure below, remote users can decide if all traffic is forwarded to Qno Firewall/Router
by selecting the「Connecting Using Virtual Passage」 check box in the Virtual Passage control
page. Otherwise, the traffic which is not about the intranet will be forwarded to local gateway
164
SSL / IPSec VPN QoS Router
router.
(3) Force the traffic of SSL users to transfer to the router completely:
To incicate the traffic of each user connecting the Virtual Passage successful will be forwarded
to central SSL VPN server of Qno Firewall Router and can not cancel “使用遠端 SSL 網路的預設

170
SSL / IPSec VPN QoS Router
12.8.1 Virtual Passage
A virtual passage is a type of point-to-point SSL client connection. When remote users use a secure
tunnel to connect, SSL VPN will establish a virtual web interface. For this reason, you will need to set SSL
VPN's secure tunnel client address range so it does not conflict with your company's Internet DHCP IP.
Default for 5 SSL users is 192.168.1.200 to 192.168.1.205.
Unified IP Management:
171
SSL / IPSec VPN QoS Router
The Unified IP Management configuration window can set LAN IP range, DHCP IP range, SSL virtual
passage IP range, and PPTP IP address range.
LAN Settings:
The system default for LAN IP is 192.168.1.1, and subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. Changes can be made
based on actual network architecture.
Multiple-Subnet Settings:
Select "Multiple Subnet", and enter the subnet IP address/ subnet mask you want to add. This function is
to add the router's different LAN IPs in different ranges to the router identified LAN. Therefore, PCs in LAN
already having configured IPs, which are different from LAN IP range, can still go online directly. For example,
there are several IP ranges in LAN, such as 192.168.3.0, 192.168.20.0, 192.168.150.0, etc. When all of these
ranges are added to a subnet, the PCs in these ranges don't need to make any modification and can go online.
This can be done with your actual internet architecture.
Dynamic IP:
SSL VPN firewall has 4 Class C DHCP servers and is enabled by default, which can provide PCs in LAN
172
SSL / IPSec VPN QoS Router
to get IPs automatically (like DHCP service in NT server). So each PC isn't required to record or set other IP
addresses. After a computer starting, SSL VPN firewall will automatically acquire an IP address.
Range Start:
The initial IP for the 4 ranges by default are 192.168.1.100,
192.168.2.100, 192.168.3.100, and 192.168.3.100. Changes can be
made by actual requirements.
Range End:
The last IP for the 4 ranges by default are 192.168.1.149,
192.168.2.149, 192.168.3.149, 192.168.4.149. Factory default allows to
50 IP addresses in each range. A total of 200 computers can
automatically acquire IP addresses. Changes can be made by actual
requirements.
Virtual Passage:
When the client uses SSL secure tunnel to connect to SSL VPN, SSL VPN will assign a LAN IP address
to the user. You can use SSL VPN's supported SSL tunnels to adjust "client start addresses" and "client end
addresses" to provide ample LAN IP the SSL secure tunnel clients. Ensure that the secure tunnel IP range
doesn’t conflict with the DHCP IP range or the PPTP secure tunnel IP range.
PPTP IP Address Distribution Range:
When a client uses PPTP to dial into the SSL VPN, SSL VPN will assign a LAN IP address for the client. You
can adjust “Range Start” and “Range End” by purchasing SSL tunnel quantity.
In this way, you can provide
sufficient LAN IPs for SSL tunnel users. Please Note: IP ranges for virtual passage cannot have conflict with
those in DHCP and PPTP tunnels.
12.8.2 Advanced Configurations
The SSL default port is 443. If port 443 is being used by another internal application, you can use the
SSL VPN’s service port drop down menu to select a different one (10443, 20443). Remind: If you change a
port other than the default 443, when a client connects to the SSL VPN, the port number will have to be
entered after the address.

12.8.4 SSL Upgrade Serial Number
175
SSL / IPSec VPN QoS Router
In addition to SSL VPN default SSL tunnel, if you want to upgrade for additional tunnels, please contact
your Qno distribution representatives to order the upgraded edition. After purchasing, an SSL upgrade serial
number will be provided. Enter the serial number in the "SSL Upgrade Serial Number" blank and the tunnel
quantity in "SSL Upgrade Tunnel Number". After that, click "Apply", and you can successfully upgrade the
SSL tunnels. You can go to “Status” to view “Tunnel(s) Used” and “Tunnel(s) Available” to confirm whether
your upgrade is successful or not .
SSL Cerificate Import / Export
In short, SSL Certificate is an authentication between web browser and host. A comprehensive
Certificate includes corporation name, web site name, users account, digital key and validity
date of certificate. Web browser will request the web site to show digital certificate when the web
browser requests to use SSL mode (https://). If web browser decides to accept the digital
certificate, all data between the web site and browser will use certificate digital-key encryption
to avoid hacker to access the data.
SSL certificate includes public-key and private-key. Public-key is used to encrypt data while the
private-key is used to decrypt. When the web browser connects to SSL network (http://), SSL
protocol will verifies server and client identities and creates a encryption method with public key.
Then, the SSL will start a security process to protect the privacy and data integrity.
Generally, if users do not import a legal authentication/authorization SSL certificate verified
through third party, web page will display as below figure to warm that users have not getting
SSL certificate by legal authorized third party agent.

Please note that these warning messages won't influence the operation and usage of the SSL
VPN. But if you want to apply a integrity SSL certificate from a third party organization, you need
contact these third party organizations(for example: VeriSign) and follow their procedures to
apply a integrity SSL certificate for your business.
179
SSL / IPSec VPN QoS Router
[SSL certificate inport]:
Generally, SSL certificate format looks like the diagram below, and it indicates a .PEM file format
which is available in the Qno System. Users only need to copy all the letters (including the “Begin”
and “End”) into the notepad file and save to .PEM file. Then, users can import this .PEM file into
Qno System.
If the SSL certificate is .CER file, users can translate file to .PEM file format by Windows build-in translation
tool. Please access to Qno web site to search the related documentation of technology
instructions or contact Qno technical department if you do not know how to translate the file.
[To export SSL certificate of administrator]:
Administrators can not only export the completed SSL certificate from a SSL VPN Firewall Router,
but also import the certificate to others SSL VPN Firewall Router. The file format is .PEM file.
[To export SSL certificate of User]:
Users can export the SSL certificate from PC (excluding private-key) and import to other PCs.
The exported file format is .PEM file.

XII. Advanced Function
13.1 DMZ Host/ Port Range Forwarding
13.1.1 DMZ Host
When the NAT mode is activated, sometimes users may need to use applications that do not
support virtual IP addresses such as network games. We recommend that users map the device actual
WAN IP addresses directly to the Intranet virtual IP addresses, as follows:
If the “DMZ Host” function is selected, to cancel this function, users must input "0” in the following

13.1.2 Port Range Forwarding
Setting up a Port Forwarding Virtual Host: If the server function (which means the server for an
external service such as WWW, FTP, Mail, etc) is contained in the network, we recommend that users
181
SSL / IPSec VPN QoS Router
use the firewall function to set up the host as a virtual host, and then convert the actual IP addresses
(the Internet IP addresses) with Port 80 (the service port of WWW is Port 80) to access the internal
server directly. In the configuration page, if a web server address such as 192.168.1.50 and the Port 80
has been set up in the configuration, this web page will be accessible from the Internet by keying in the
device actual IP address such as, http://211.243.220.43.
At this moment, the device actual IP will be converted into “192.168.1.50” by Port 80 to access the
web page.

13.3 Routing
In this chapter we introduce the Dynamic Routing Information Protocol and Static Routing
Information Protocol.
13.3.1 Dynamic Routing
The abbreviation of Routing Information Protocol is RIP. There are two kinds of RIP in the IP
environment – RIP I and RIP II. Since there is usually only one router in a network, ordinarily just Static
Routing will be used. RIP is used when there is more than one router in a network, and if an administrator
doesn’t want to assign a path list one by one to all of the routers, RIP can help
186
refresh the paths.
SSL / IPSec VPN QoS Router
RIP is a very simple routing protocol, in which Distance Vector is used. Distance Vector determines
transmission distance in accordance with the number of routers, rather than based on actual session speed.
Therefore, sometimes it will select a path through the least number of routers, rather than through the fastest
routers.
Working Mode:
Select the working mode of the device: NAT mode or router mode.
RIP:
Click “Enabled” to open the RIP function.
Receive RIP versions:
Use Up/Down button to select one of “None, RIPv1, RIPv2, Both
RIPv1 and v2” as the “TX” function for transmitting dynamic RIP.
Transmit RIP versions:
Use Up/Down button to select one of “None, RIPv1,
RIPv2-Broadcast, RIPv2-Multicast” as the “RX” function for
receiving dynamic RIP.
13.3.2 Static Routing
When there are more than one router and IP subnets, the routing mode for the device should be
configured as static routing. Static routing enables different network nodes to seek necessary paths
automatically. It also enables different network nodes to access each other. Click the button “Show Routing
Table” (as in the figure) to display the current routing list.
187
SSL / IPSec VPN QoS Router
Dest. IP:
Input the remote network IP locations and subnet that is to be
Subnet Mask:
routed. For example, the IP/subnet is 192.168.2.0/255.255.255.0.
Gateway:
The default gateway location of the network node which is to be
routed.
Hop Count:
This is the router layer count for the IP. If there are two routers under
the device, users should input “2” for the router layer; the default is
“1”. (Max. is 15.)
Interface:
This is to select “WAN port” or “LAN port” for network connection
location.
Add to List:
Add the routing rule into the list.
Delete Selected Item:
Remove the selected routing rule from the list.

13.4 One to One NAT
As both the device and ATU-R need only one actual IP, if ISP issued more than one actual IP (such as
eight ADSL static IP addresses or more), users can map the remaining real IP addresses to the intranet PC
virtual IP addresses. These PCs use private IP addresses in the Intranet, but after having One to One NAT
mapping, these PCs will have their own public IP addresses.
For example, if there are more than 2 web servers requiring public IP addresses, administrators can map
several public IP addresses directly to internal private IP addresses.
Example:Users have five available IP addresses - 210.11.1.1~5, one of which, 210.11.1.1, has been
configured as a real IP for WAN, and is used in NAT. Users can respectively configure the other four real IP
addresses for Multi-DMZ, as follows:
210.11.1.2
192.168.1.3
210.11.1.3
192.168.1.4
210.11.1.4
192.168.1.5
210.11.1.5
192.168.1.6
Attention!
The device WAN IP address can not be contained in the One-to-One NAT IP configuration.

Click “Cancel" to leave without making any changes.
Attention!
One-to-One NAT mode will change the firewall working mode. If this function has been set up, the
Internet IP server or PC which is mapped with a LAN port will be exposed on the Internet. To prevent
Internet users from actively connecting with the One-on-One NAT server or PC, please set up a proper
190
SSL / IPSec VPN QoS Router
denial rule for access, as described Firewall.
13.5 DDNS- Dynamic Domain Name Service
DDNS supports the dynamic web address transfer for QnoDDNS.org.cn、3322.org、DynDNS.org
and DtDNS.com. This is for VPN connections to a website that is built with dynamic IP addresses, and
for dynamic IP remote control. For example, the actual IP address of an ADSL PPPoE time-based
system or the actual IP of a cable modem will be changed from time to time. To overcome this problem
for users who want to build services such as a website, it offers the function of dynamic web address
transfer. This service can be applied from www.qno.cn/ddns, www.3322.org, www.dyndns.org, or
www.dtdns.com, and these are free.
Also, in order to solve the issue that DDNS server is not stable, the device can update the dynamic
IP address with different services at the same time.

13.7 Inbound Load Balance
Qno Firewall/Router not only supports efficient Outbound Load Balance, but Inbound
Load Balance. It distributes inbound traffic equally to every WAN port to make best use of
bandwidth. It also can prevent traffic from unequally distribution and congested. Users can
use only one device to satisfy the demand of Inbound/Outbound Load Balance
simultaneously.
Following introduces how to enable and setup Inbound Load Balance step by step.
Attention!
In For some models of Qno routers, user can try the function for a period but with time
limit. If the function can match your network demand, you can apply for the official version
License Key in Qno Official Website (www.qno.com.tw). After applying, auditing, paying
and inputting License Key successfully, users can use the official version without time limit.
1. System Tool => License Key => Try to enable “Inbound Load Balance.”
After enabling Trial version, “Status and Information” column will display the remaining
trial time. If trial expires, the function can not work out at all unless users enter an official
License Key.

WAN IP:
Check corresponding A Record IP (WAN Port IP). If more than one IPs is checked, Inbound
traffic will be distributed on this WANs.
8. Alias Record : Add or modify alias record (CNAME Record)
This kind of record allows you to assign several names to one computer host, which
may provide several services on it.
For instance, there is a computer whose name is “host.mydomain.com” (A record). It
provides WWW and Mail services concurrently. Administrator can configure as two CNAME:
WWW and Mail. They are “www.mydomain.com” and “mail.mydomain.com”. They are both
orientated to “host.mydomain.com.”
You can also assign several domain names to the same IP address. One of the domains
will be A record corresponding server IP, and the others will be alias of A record domain. If
199

14.6 High Availability
High Availability is adopted in the network that requires fault tolerance and backup mechanism. Two
similar devices are used to be the backup for each other. One of these devices is employed for major network
transmitting, and the other redundant device will take over when the master device fails to assure that
network transmitting and services never break down. Therefore, administrators will have more opportunity
and time to deal with the master device problems.
Besides general HA, Qno also provides advanced HA function that enables two devices to operate
simultaneously. It brings full cost efficiency without making another device idle. It does not have to be the
same model. All of Qno devices which support HA can achieve the function.
High Availability
Enable: Activate HA function.
Disable: Disable HA function.
Mode
(1) Hardware Backup Mode
It is the general backup mode. The master device takes responsibility of network
transmitting and the other one is set as idle. When the master device fails
transmitting, it will send out the message to the idle device for taking over network
transmitting immediately.
(2) Two devices are operating simultaneously
Two devices operate outbound linking simultaneously, but they are still separated as
211
SSL / IPSec VPN QoS Router
Master device and Backup device. In normal situation, Master device is major DHCP
IP issuer, and Backup device will disable DHCP issuing automatically. When Master
device fails transmitting, the Backup device will take over all outbound links and
enable DHCP server to provide IP addresses.
Following is the description of the two different modes.
Hardware Backup
※ Operation-Master Mode
Status
Status of the backup device
Indicates the master device will operate for all outbound links. When
the master device fails transmitting, the backup device will take over.
“Status- Normal” indicates the device operates well.
Indicates status of backup device. If the status is normal,
administrators can login the device remotely to manage. (Remote
Management should be enabled).
“Status- Abnormal” indicates the backup device can not be detected or
does exist, and need to inspect the backup device actual status.
212
SSL / IPSec VPN QoS Router
Operation-Backup Mode
Indicates the backup device will take over when the master fails
transmitting. WAN and LAN IP setting in backup device should be the
same as those of master device. The backup device should not be in
charge of network transmitting and DHCP server.
※
If the original LAN IP addresses are issued by Master
device, DHCP server setting of Backup device should be the
same as Master device. The Backup device can keep DHCP
functioning and there will be no LAN disconnection.
LAN IP of the backup device
Input LAN IP of Master mode, which is backed up.
MAC Address of the backup
Input Master device MAC address, which is backed up.
device:
Status
“Status- Normal” indicates the status is idle. Master device operates
normally.
“Status- Backup” indicates the device takes over all the network
transmitting. The status will return to “Normal” when Master device
boots normally and send a message to the backup device. Then, the
status will return to Normal, which the backup device remains idle.
Two devices are operating simultaneously:
Operation-Master Mode
Besides operating network with another device, Master device is also
213
SSL / IPSec VPN QoS Router
the DHCP server to issue LAN IP addresses. Although Slave device
also supports outbound linking, its DHCP server is disabled.
WAN Backup
(The Checked WANs are not
The checked WANs will works in the other device. For an example, if
WAN1 works in this device, and WAN2 works in the other device,
working in this device.)
WAN2 should be checked.
LAN Gateway Backup
Input LAN IP of Slave device. The IP should be different from LAN IP
of Master device.
MAC Address of the backup device
Input LAN MAC of Slave device. It should be different from LAN MAC
of Master device.
Status
“Status-Normal” means both two devices operate normally.
“Status-Backup” indicates Slave mode has problems, and the device
enables backup to take over WAN
Operation-Slave Mode
Although working with master device, Backup device’s DHCP server
is disabled. LAN users need to transmit traffic through the WAN on
Slave device. You should add LAN IP of Slave device into Master
device DHCP server default gateway, which is DHCP server IP
address.
For example, if the DHCP server’s IP of Master device is
192.168.1.1, and the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0, Salve device
should be in the same subnet, ex. 192.168.1.2.
WAN Backup
The checked WANs will works in another device. For an example, if
214
SSL / IPSec VPN QoS Router
(The Checked WANs are not
WAN1 works in this device, and WAN2 works in another, WAN2
working in this device.)
should be checked.
LAN Gateway Backup
Input the LAN IP of Master device. It should be different from Slave
device’s IP. (Must be in the same subnet.)
MAC Address of the backup device
Input the LAN MAC of Master device. It should be different from Salve
device’s LAN MAC.
Status
“Status-Normal” indicates both devices work normally;
“Status-Backup” indicates the Backup device is enabled for backing
up Master device to take over WAN connection and DHCP issuing
function.

QQLive Video broadcast software is a stream media broadcast software. Many clients are bothered by
the same problem: When several users apply QQLive Video broadcast software, a greater share of the
bandwidth is occupied, thus overloading the device. Therefore, the device responds more slowly or is
paralyzed. If the login onto the QQLive Server is blocked, the issue can be resolved. The following relates to
Qno products and provides users with solutions by introducing users how to set up the device.
a). Log into the device web- based UI, and enter “Firewall -> Access Rule’.
b). Click "Add New Rule" under "Access Rule" page. Select "Deny" in "Action" under the "Service”
rule setting, followed by the selection of "All Traffic [TCP&UDP/1~65535]" from
"the service" and select
"Any" for Interface, "Any" for source IP address (users with relevant needs may select either "Single" or
"Range" to block any QQLive login by using one single IP or IP range), followed by the selection of
"Single" of the "Dest. IP and enter the IP address as 121.14.75.155" for the QQLive Server (note that
there are more than one IP address for QQLive server. Repeated addition may be needed). Lastly, select
"Always" under the Scheduling setting so that the QQLive Login Time can be set. (If necessary, specific
time setting may be undertaken). Click "Apply" to move to the next step.

(4)ARP Virus Attack Prevention
1.
ARP Issue and Information
Recently, many cyber cafes in China experienced disconnection (partially or totally) for a short period of
time, but connection is resumed quickly. This is caused by the clash with MAC address. When virus-contained
MAC mirrors to such NAT equipments as host devices, there is complete disconnection within the network. If
it mirrors to other devices of the network, only devices of this affected network have problems. This happens
mostly to legendary games especially those with private servers. Evidently, the network is attacked by ARP,
which aims to crack the encryption method. By doing so, they hackers may intercept the packet data and user
information through the analysis of the game's communication protocol. Through the spread of this virus, the
detailed information of the game players within the local network can be obtained. Their account and
information are stolen. The following describes how to prevent such virus attack.
First, let us get down to the definition of ARP (Address Resolution Protocol). In LAN, what is actually
transmitted is "frame", in which there is MAC address of the destination host device. So-called “Address
Analysis” refers to the transferring process of the target IP address into the target MAC address before the
host sends out the frame. The basic function of ARP protocol aims to inquire the MAC address of the target
equipment via the IP address of the target equipment so as to facilitate the communications.
The Working Principle of ARP Protocol: Computers with TCP/IP protocol have an ARP cache, in
which the IP address corresponds to the MAC address (as illustrated).
IP Address
MAC
192.168.1.1
00-0f-3d-83-74-28
192.168.1.2
00-aa-00-62-c5-03
192.168.1.3
03-aa-01-75-c3-06
……
……
For example, host A (192.168.1.5) transmits data to Host B (192.168.1.1) .Transmitting data, Host A
searches for the destination IP address from the ARP Cache. If it is located, MAC address is known. Simply fill
in the MAC address for transmission. If no corresponding IP address is found in ARP cache, Host A will send
a broadcast. The MAC address is “FF.FF.FF.FF.FF.FF,” which is to inquire all the host devices in the same
network session about “What is the MAC address of “192.168.1.1"? Other host devices do not respond to the
29
SSL / IPSec VPN QoS Router
ARP inquiry except host device B, which responds to host device A when receiving this frame: “The MAC
address of 192.168.1.1 is 00-aa-00-62-c6-09”. So Host A knows the MAC address of Host B, and it can send
data to Host B. Meanwhile, it will update its ARP cache.
Moreover, ARP virus attack can be briefly described as an internal attack to the PC, which causes trouble
to the ARP table of the PC. In LAN, IP address was transferred into the second physical address (MAC
address) through ARP protocol. ARP protocol is critical to network security. ARP cheating is caused by fake IP
addresses and MAC addresses, and the massive ARP communications traffic will block the network. The
MAC address from the fake source sends ARP response, attacking the high-speed cache mechanism of ARP.
This usually happens to the cyber cafe users. Some or all devices in the shop experience temporal
disconnection or failure of going online. It can be resolved by restarting the device; however, the problem
repeats shortly after. Cafe Administrators can use arp –a command to check the ARP table. If the device IP
and MAC are changed, it is the typical symptom of ARP virus attack.
Such virus program as PWSteal. lemir or its transformation is worm virus of the Trojan programs affecting
Windows 95/ 98/ Me/ NT/ 2000/ XP/ 2003. There are two attack methods affecting the network connection
speed: cheat on the ARP table in the device or LAN PC. The former intercepts the gateway data and send
ceaselessly a series of wrong MAC messages to the device, which sends out wrong MAC address. The PC
thus cannot receive the messages. The later is ARP attack by fake gateways. A fake gateway is established.
The PC which is cheated sends data to this gateway and doesn't go online through the normal device. From
the PC end, the situation is "disconnection“.
For these two situations, the device and client setup must be done to prevent ARP virus attack, which is
to guarantee the complete resolution of the issue. The device selection is advised to take into consideration
the one with anti-ARP virus attack. Qno products come squarely with such a feature, which is very
user-friendly compared to other products.
2.
ARP Diagnostic
If one or more computers are affected by the ARP virus, we must learn how to diagnose and take
appropriate measures. The following is experience shared by Qno technical engineers with regard to the ARP
prevention.
Through the ARP working principle, it is known that if the ARP cache is changed and the device is
constantly notified with the series of error IP or if there is cheat by fake gateway, then the issue of
disconnection will affect a great number of devices. This is the typical ARP attack. It is very easy to judge if
there is ARP attack. Once users find the PC point where there is problem, users may enter the DOS system to
30
SSL / IPSec VPN QoS Router
conduct operation, pining the LAN IP to see the packet loss. Enter the ping 192.168.1.1 (Gateway IP address)
as illustrated.
If there are cases of packet loss of the ping LAN IP and lf later there is connection, it is possible that the
system is attacked by ARP. To verify the situation, we may judge by checking ARP table. Enter the ARP -a
command as illustrated below.
It is found that the IP of 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.252 points to the same MAC address as
00-0f-3d-83-74-28. Evidently, this is a cheat by ARP.
3.
ARP Solution
Now we understand ARP, ARP cheat and attack, as well as how to identify this type of attack. What
comes next is to find out effective prevention measures to stop the network from being attacked. The general
solution provided by Qno can be divided into the following three options:
a) Enable “Prevent ARP Virus Attack”:
Enter the device IP address to log in the management webpage of the device. Enter ”Firewall-> General”
and find the option "Prevent ARP Virus Attack" to the right of the page. Click on the option to activate it and
click "Apply" at the bottom of the page (see illustrated).
31
SSL / IPSec VPN QoS Router
b) Bind the Gateway IP and MAC address for each PC
This prevents the ARP from cheating IP and its MAC address. First, find out the gateway IP and MAC
address on the device end.
On every PC, start or operate cmd to enter the dos operation. Enter arp –s 192.168.1.1 0a-0f-d4-9e-fb-0b
so as to finish the binding of pc01 as illustrated.
For other host devices within the network, follow the same way to enter the IP and MAC address of the
corresponding device to complete the binding work. However, if this act restarts the computer, the setting will
be cancelled. Therefore, this command can be regarded as a batch of processing documents placed in the
activation of the operation system. The batch processing documents can be put in this way:
@echo off
arp -d
arp -s Router LAN IP
Router LAN MAC
For those internal network attacked by Arp, the source must be identified. Method: If the PC fails to
32
SSL / IPSec VPN QoS Router
go online or there is packet loss of ping, in the DOS screen, input arp –a command to check if the MAC
address of the gateway is the same with the device MAC address. If not, the PC corresponding to the
MAC address is the source of attack.
Solutions for other device users are to make a two-way binding of the IP address and MAC address
from both of the PC and device ends in order to carry out the prevention work. However, this is more
complicated because the search for the IP and address and MAC increases the workload. Moreover,
there is greater possibility of making errors during the operation.
c) Bind the IP/MAC Address from Device End:
Enter “Setup” under DHCP page. On the down right corner of the screen, there is “IP and MAC Binding,”
where users may create IP and MAC binding. On “Enabled,” click on “√” and select “Add to List.” Repeat these
steps to add other IP addresses and MAC binding, followed by clicking “Apply” at the bottom of the page.
33
SSL / IPSec VPN QoS Router
After an item is added to the list, the corresponding message will be displayed in the white block on the
bottom. However, such method is not recommended because the inquiry of IP/MAC addresses of all hosts
creates heavy workload. Another method to bind IP and MAC is more recommended because of easy
operation, reducing workload and time efficiency. It is described in the following.
Enter “Setup” under the DHCP page and look for IP and MAC binding. On the right, there is an option of
"Show new IP user" and click to enter.
34
SSL / IPSec VPN QoS Router
Click to display IP and MAC binding list dialog box. In this box, the unbinding IP and MAC address
corresponding to the PC are displayed. Enter the "Name" of the computer and click on "Enabled" with the
display of the “√” icon and push the option on the top right corner of the screen to confirm.
Now the bound options will display on the IP and MAC binding list (as illustrated in Figure 5) and click
"Apply” to finish binding.
35
SSL / IPSec VPN QoS Router
Though these basic operations can help solve the problem but Qno's technical engineers suggest that
further measures should be taken to prevent the ARP attack.
1.
Deal with virus source as well as the source device affected by virus through virus killing and the
system re-installation. This operation is more important because it solves the source PC which is attacked by
ARP. This can better shelter the network from being attacked.
2. Cyber café administrators should check the LAN virus, install anti-virus software (Ginshan Virus/Reixin
must update the virus codes) and conduct virus scanning for the device.
3. Install the patch program for the system. Through Windows Update, the system patch program (critical
update, security update and Service Pack)
36
SSL / IPSec VPN QoS Router
4. Provide system administrators with a sophisticated and strong password for different accounts. It
would be best if the password consists of a combination of more than 12 letters, digits, and symbols. Forbid
and delete some redundant accounts.
5. Frequently update anti-virus software (virus data base), and set the daily upgrade that allows regular
and automatic update. Install and use the network firewall software. Network firewall is important for the
process of anti-virus. It can effectively avert the attack from the network and invasion of the virus. Some users
of the pirate version of Windows cannot install patches successfully. Users are advised to use network firewall
and other measures for protection.
6. Close some unnecessary services and some unnecessary sharing (if the condition is applicable),
which includes such management sharing as C$ and D$. Single device user can directly close Server service.
7. Do not open QQ or the link messages sent by MSN online chatting tools in a causal manner. Do not
open or execute any strange, suspicious documents, and procedures such as the unknown attachment
enclosed in E-mail and plug-in.
4.
Summary
ARP attack prevention is a serious and long-term undertaking. The above methods can basically
resolve the network problems caused by ARP virus attack. Moreover, clients who adopted similar methods
witness good results. However, it is important that network administrators pay special attention to this
problem rather than overlooking the issue. It is suggested that the above measures can be adopted to
prevent ARP attack, reduce the damage, enhance the work efficiency, and minimize economic loss.
